It wasn't until near noon that Xiao Yunyan woke up. As soon as Helian Yi saw him, he said: "Your Highness, General Du said that for some reason in the past two days, there seems to be someone watching outside the mansion, I wonder if the two General Luo have found out?" ”

Xiao Yunyan smiled: "It's the sixth brother's person, he asked me to go back to Beijing to recuperate at that time, and I said that I can come here." The sixth brother is cautious, and he wants to find out who is here so that I won't even go back to the capital. ”

"Since Your Highness already knew, why didn't you tell me earlier." Helian Yi's face turned blue for a while.

"You don't have to be nervous, Sixth Brother and their people haven't seen you, so they won't be able to find out where you came from."

Helian Yi pinched a handful of sweat in his palms, "But, but the portraits of me and Liuxiang are hung all over the city gates of Daning, I'm afraid that King Yi will know." ”

"Even if he knew, what could he do to me?"

"I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid that he will embarrass His Highness. His Royal Highness himself said that His Royal Highness and King Yi would have a disagreement because of Liang Yong's soldiers and horses, and I was only afraid that King Yi would make a fuss about this matter. ”

Xiao Yunyan nodded, "Well, the sixth brother is frank and upright, but if it involves interests, he will never be ambiguous and soft-hearted, and he will definitely make a big fuss about this matter." So after I found out, I wanted you to marry me as Miss Lu in the future, so that I could dispel the doubts of the sixth brother. ”

Helian Yi suddenly realized again: "It turns out that His Highness means this?" ”

"Not exactly, I really think so."

Helian Yi's brain was spinning rapidly, and when he heard Xiao Yunyan say that King Yi would make a big fuss about this matter, his heart was relaxed, and he said: "Your Highness, you drink the medicine first, and I'll go and say a word to Liuxiang." With that, she walked out.

As soon as Helian Yi went out, he saw Shen Liuxiang waiting outside, and ordered: "Liuxiang, Your Highness has drunk the medicine and has been bitter, you and Cui Sleeve go to the street to buy him some plum candied fruit." ”

Shen Liuxiang was puzzled, just let Cui Sleeve go alone to buy a candied fruit, why do you want to let yourself go? Just as she was about to ask, Helian Yi whispered a few more words in her ear. After hearing this, Shen Liuxiang was puzzled: "Why is this?" ”

"Don't ask so much, just do it first."

"Okay."

Shen Liuxiang took Cui Sleeve out of the door together, and after walking all the way, Cui Sleeve asked: "Miss Shen, we passed by several candied fruit shops, why don't you buy them?" ”

"The princess commanded......" Shen Liuxiang suddenly found that she had missed her mouth, and covered her mouth in panic.

Cui Sleeve Qi said: "What did the girl just say? What princess? ”

It turned out that in order to conceal his identity, Helian Yi disguised herself as a man on weekdays as the son of the He family, the son of an ordinary businessman, and everyone in the house was also commensurate with her son. Shen Liuxiang continued to pretend to be panicked, and said hesitantly: "What princess, I'm talking about Gongzi." ”

Cui Sleeves looked at her blankly, "No, I can clearly hear it clearly, Miss Shen just said the word princess." ”

"Oh, that's probably when I said it wrong."

"Hey, isn't there plum preserves in that store just now?"

Shen Liuxiang glanced at Cui Sleeves and replied angrily: "You are bored in the house all day long, aren't you too bored?" Now that you're out, let's take a walk. ”

Seeing that she was a little angry, Cui Sleeve didn't dare to make a sound again, so she had to follow her.

......

A few more days passed, and on this day, Helian Yi entered Xiao Yunyan's house and saw him sitting upright and closing his eyes thinking about something.

"What is Your Highness thinking?"

Xiao Yunyan opened his eyes and said, "Just now Luo Hu told me that the sixth brother suddenly sent Li Cheng to guard Liaozhou, and in the past few days, Zhao Shu's side has stopped, I don't know where Li Gai went?" ”

"Does Your Highness have any ideas?"

"Well, my grandfather sent an urgent letter yesterday." As he spoke, he handed the letter to Helian Yi.

Helian Yi opened the letter and looked at it, and the situation in the letter was roughly as follows: At this time, a discerning person has already seen that the reason why the Great Liang Imperial Court changed its course drastically was nothing more than to go to Liang Yong and Liang Wen's troops. And Liang Yong and Liang Wen have also reacted and are ready to confront Emperor Liang. The two secretly mobilized some soldiers and horses, mixed into Beijing, and were discovered by Ren Jiuliang, the commander of the Praetorian Guard......

After looking at it, Helian Yi asked: "If His Royal Highness is Liang Yong, how will he deal with such a restructuring?" ”

"If I were Liang Yong, now that the border war is stalemate, the capital has limited troops, and the Liang party has promoted many generals in recent years, if they send 50,000 elite soldiers to lurk in Beijing, it will be difficult for Ren Jiuli to resist. Rather than waiting to be killed, it is better to break the kettle, and maybe there is still a chance of winning. ”

"I thought so too. Does Your Highness know where King Yi has gone? ”

"It is said that he is in the camp at this time."

"Is Your Highness a letter?"

"My sixth brother has always been erratic, back then-" He glanced at Helian Yi, and suddenly didn't continue.

"What back then? Is it the incident at Jiaxuguan? ”

"That's right, at that time, the crown prince and I were imprisoned, and the sixth brother came back to attack my father and angered my father, and he was also imprisoned in the palace, who knew that it didn't take long for the news that the Jiaxu Pass was broken."

"So, does Your Highness think that King Yi is also planning to secretly Chen Cang this time and take it by surprise?"

"In the current situation, only when the sixth brother goes back can he clean up the mess. But what I am sure of is that except for Li Gai, the sixth brother did not bring a single soldier back. ”

"King Yi's way of using soldiers has always been subtle and treacherous."

Xiao Yunyan looked worried, and He Lianyi saw his thoughts, and said, "Your Highness is worried about the situation in the capital, right?" ”

"That's right, after all, the sixth brother is just an ordinary man, where can he really become a god. If they can't resist it, their main forces will come from the rear. ”

"Liang Yong and Liang Wen's soldiers were in Ganxi and Anbei respectively, far from the capital. If I were King Yi, I might borrow some soldiers and horses from the side. ”

"You don't know, most of the generals in the imperial court over the years have been promoted by Liang Yong and Liang Wen, and almost all of the generals have been enveloped by them."

"King Yi has never fought uncertain battles, since he dares to go alone, he must be sure that he can move some people to abandon the darkness and turn to the light."

"I hope it's as you say." He looked at Helian Yi, "In the house, I've been restless, let's go out for a walk." ”

"Okay."

......

Sure enough, within six days, news came from Beijing: the Liang brothers were captured for the crime of rebellion and then beheaded, and Xiao Yunhao, the king of Rui, and Xiao Yunmin, the tenth son of the emperor of his half-mother, were demoted to concubines for participating in the rebellion and were imprisoned in Beijing. Liang Guifei hanged herself. At this point, the Liang family of Xuan He for a while came to a complete end.

When Xiao Yunyan heard the news, he had mixed feelings for a while.

Helian Yi came in with the boiled decoction, but found him sitting silently in front of the desk, his face solemn.

Helian Yi handed the decoction in front of him and shouted, "Your Highness, drink the medicine first." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Yunyan took the medicine, drank it in a big gulp, and returned to his appearance.

"What is Your Highness thinking?" Helian Yi asked.

Xiao Yunyan stood up and paced: "You know, my sixth brother and I have been raised under the knees of the queen mother since childhood, and at that time, the prince was much older than us, so he took on the responsibility of teaching the two of us. I am not close to my father, and the sixth brother is even more estranged from my father, and the prince is the one who has won our respect like a father and a brother. He was silent for a while, and then continued: "The more the prince is respected by the courtiers, the more uneasy his father is, and then he favors the Liang family in every way and snubs the prince. Before her death, the queen mother took the hands of the three of us and asked me to work with the sixth brother and brother to assist the prince with all our might. Seeing that the generals of the imperial court were surrounded by the Liang brothers, the sixth brother started the idea of leading the troops, so that he could protect the prince well. But now that the crown prince has passed away, I didn't expect that one day the sixth brother and I would go to a-for-tat step. ”

Helian Yi listened to his words, and was a little emotional for a while, "When I was a child, I often heard people mention Queen Ren, none of you are her own children, but she treats you as if you have been born, and there is no difference. Not to mention Da Liang in this matter, even in our Great Xia and the surrounding countries, all the royal princesses and daughters also regard Queen Ren as a model. ”

Xiao Yunyan looked at He Lianyi and said, "You and the queen mother have many similarities, they seem to be weak and boneless, but in fact they are tenacious, they carry everything by themselves, and they swallow all the hardships and tiredness by themselves." ”

Helian Yi heard this, and suddenly the grievances hidden in his heart could no longer be hidden, and his eyes were red.

At this moment, Luo Hong sent a letter in: "Your Highness, Lord Yang sent someone to deliver another one." ”

This is Yang Zhengwu's second letter today, Xiao Yunyan took the letter and read it for a long time, and his face became more and more solemn.

"What did Lord Yang say?" Helian Yi finally spoke.

Xiao Yunyan handed the letter to He Lianyi and said, "Sixth Brother has quietly resolved this crisis this time, and there have not been many casualties. The court and the outside are all vying for praise, and now the whole government and the opposition do not respect him. ”

"Does Your Highness think this is a good thing?"

"I understand what you mean: Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and if the sixth brother is too sharp, he will inevitably repeat the mistakes of the prince. But now the timing is not right, now is the most critical time for me to compete with Sixth Brother. ”

"Does Your Highness think we lost a game?"

"Isn't it?"

Helian Yi shook his head and said, "Even if everyone in the world supports King Yi, as long as one person is unwilling, then all his efforts will be in vain." ”

"It's not just my father's reason, the ministers are trying their best to fight for the sixth brother, how can my father withstand it?"

"Didn't there be a lot of generals who fought for the reserve position for Xiao Yunhao, the king of Rui? What about him now? Besides, there are no ministers, Lord Yang and Lord Lu are all on the side of His Highness. I just don't know Sihong...... Yes, Your Highness, the key now is the Sihong ......"

"Sihong and I and Sixth Brother have never known each other in our lives, how can they stand in line at will. The key now is that the sixth brother has already handed in good grades, and I must also submit another good score as soon as possible. ”

"The doctor said that His Royal Highness has injured his internal organs and needs to rest for two months, but this is only a month."

"I can't afford to wait, it's imminent."

Helian Yi looked at Kanyutu, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Your Highness, I heard that Zhao Hai has retreated to Antong, why don't I go to Antong tomorrow." ”

Xiao Yunyan flatly refused: "No, it's too dangerous for you to enter and leave Ningdi." ”

"It's not the first time I've been there, haven't you come back well when you went back last time? What is Your Highness afraid of? ”

"Of course I'm afraid, this time it's Zhao Hai, you can bluff Du Shaoji, but you may not be able to bluff him."

"I'm not going to fool anyone this time, I'm going to persuade sincerely. Zhao Hai and General Xu are old friends, and I asked him to send me there. ”

"Nope." Xiao Yunyan righteously rejected her, "No matter what method you use, I won't allow you to go again." ”

"Your Highness, I will come back in good condition. The Zhao brothers are upright, he won't do anything to me. ”

"Don't say it, I'd rather I didn't get those soldiers and horses than let you go. I have already fought against Zhao Hai, and I am completely confident in dealing with him. I can't even persuade you to surrender in the future, understand? ”

His tone was firm and unrebellious. Helian Yi looked at him, and saw that his eyes were full of sincerity, and his heart flew for a while, and he didn't dare to look at him again, so he only nodded in agreement.
